The InfinityBook Max 16 from Tuxedo redefines what’s possible in a 16-inch laptop. Weighing just over 2 kg yet packed with desktop-grade performance, this Linux-powered workstation is designed for professionals who need raw power without sacrificing portability.

At the heart of the system is the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, a processor built on advanced 3 nm architecture that delivers up to 140 watts of sustained performance while maintaining impressive efficiency. This means you get near-max speeds even when running at lower power levels—around 90% of full performance at under 100 watts—reducing both heat and noise without sacrificing speed.

For graphics, the laptop offers a range of NVIDIA GeForce RTX options, including the RTX 5060, RTX 5070, and the upcoming RTX 5080 SUPER. These cards provide significant performance gains over previous models, making them ideal for graphically intensive tasks like 3D rendering, video editing, or high-end gaming at 300 Hz refresh rates.

One of the standout features is the optional OLED display, which delivers best-in-class contrast and color accuracy with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels. The non-matte surface ensures crystal-clear visuals, perfect for professionals who rely on precise color reproduction.

Storage and memory are equally robust, with support for up to 128 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and 8 TB of PCIe SSD storage (a combination of PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 slots). The laptop also includes three DisplayPort interfaces—two via USB-C and one Mini DisplayPort—along with HDMI 2.1, allowing for multi-monitor setups with ease.

Cooling is handled by an 8 mm low-profile system, which, while slightly thicker than the 7 mm found in Tuxedo’s InfinityBook Pro 15, ensures stable performance even under heavy loads. The laptop can reach a combined maximum power draw of 170 watts when both CPU and GPU are pushed to their limits.

For those who prioritize noise levels over ultra-thin designs, the Stellaris 16 variant offers superior 12 mm cooling with equivalent performance—though it comes at the cost of a slightly thicker chassis.

The InfinityBook Max 16 is available for pre-order now, with shipping expected by the end of January. Pricing starts at €1,899 (including tax for German customers) in base configuration, featuring an LED display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5060 graphics, 16 GB DDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB SSD.

Who Should Consider It? This laptop is ideal for software developers, media designers, or professionals who demand both high performance and portability. Its Linux compatibility, combined with support for TUXEDO OS, Ubuntu 24.04, or Windows 11, makes it a versatile choice for those working across multiple platforms.

If you’re looking for a workstation that can handle everything from heavy coding to high-refresh gaming without breaking the bank, the InfinityBook Max 16 is a strong contender.
